Chapter 4: Powering On the Chassis
114
Verifying the Hardware Operations of the Chassis
This section explains how to use the commands in the AlliedWare Plus
operating system in the switch to confirm the operations of the chassis.
The section has the following procedure:
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 114
“Verifying the Chassis with the AlliedWare Plus Commands” on
page 115
Because the switch does not come with a default IP address, your initial
management session must be a local management session through the
Console port. For instructions on how to configure the chassis for remote
management with a Telnet or Secure Shell client, refer to the Software
Reference for SwitchBlade x908 Gen2 Series Switches.
Starting a Local
Management
Session
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the management card included with the
switch to the Console RS-232 port on the management panel. Refer to
Figure 83.
